Edan Alexander

And are you starting to see a picture? Are you starting to see a comprehensive understanding of what's happening here, of the way that this occupation is bad for us, to put it simply? From the Gray Zone, another example of another story this week of just the endless deception that we suffer under, uh, thanks to these people.

Last American hostage in Gaza, Edan Alexander, was not a US citizen, sh- sources say.

The Trump administration took the unusual step in negotiating directly for the release of a captive IDF soldier, Edan Alexander, on the grounds that he was actually a dual American Israeli citizen, but a source who's been in contact with the family says he wasn't a US citizen at all.

The US, uh, the Gray Zone has confirmed Alexander is a client of elite immigration lawyers.

President Trump took it, uh, to Truth Social on May 11, 2025 to proclaim that his administration had secured the release of one of the last and most high-profile Israelis held in the Gaza Strip.

The whole time, they're all snickering behind their hands at stupid Trump, the American being used to benefit Israel, and they just had to claim that the dude was American.

I guess nobody checked up on it.

Again, the Gray Zone, IDF soldier I- Edan Alexander got an Oval Office invite from Trump, who claimed credit for freeing the captive American citizen from Gaza.

Watch our president celebrate the release of an American from Hamas custody.

Very happy to announce that Edan Alexander, an American citizen who, until recently, most thought was no longer living, thought was dead, uh, is going to be released in about two hours, actually.

So that's great.

I mean, a- look, everybody in captivity, including the tens of thousands of Palestinian Arabs who are in Israeli captivity tonight, facing no charges at all, but just endlessly held in prison cells, we wish all of them freedom.

innocentPrecious, unfulfilled lives that we lost

I'm standing here today as a mother who knows what it means to live through a nightmare.

My son, Eden, was taken hostage on October 7 and was held for 584 days.

Eden.

Eden Alexander.

Yep.

Eden Alexander.

She's like, what? She's like, I thought you were going to ask me about stats on Michigan or what our next game or, you know.

I said, what's the kid's name? And so anyway, I just get my phone out.

It's Eden Alexander.

Exactly.
